A pattern in these is code that compiles until you change a small thing. A closure that works until you capture a variable, or code that works in the main thread but not in a separate thread. Or works until you move the code into an if/else block.

My experience with Rust is like this: make a seemingly small change, it balloons into a compile error that requires large refactoring to appease the borrow checker and type system. I suppose if you repeat this enough you learn how to write code that Rust is happy with first-time. I think my brain just doesn't like Rust.
Are birds mammals?
You misunderstand me. The issue is that Apple is theoretically being retaliated against, by the state, if they were to publish non-backdoored e2ee software.

Apple does indeed in theory have a right to release whatever iOS features they like. In practice, they do not.

Everyone kind of tacitly acknowledged this, when it was generally agreed upon that Apple was doing the on-device scanning thing "so they can deploy e2ee". The quiet part is that if they didn't do the on-device scanning and released e2ee software without this backdoor (which would then thwart wiretaps), the FBI et al would make problems for them.
Thanks! Well, I name things and try to use them, and usually they cristalize, if not before, then through feedback of others :).

That, and running away from lions and hyenas and those worst killers of Africa: the hippopotamuses.

Speaking of butts, as avid watchers of nature documentaries, the all-time funniest thing we saw in one was a hippo standing with its rear towards the camera in thigh-deep water, pooping while furiously swishing its tail back and forth just spraying it as far and wide as it could, for 5-10 seconds IIRC.

And, yeah, just search YT for "hippo spraying poop with tail", if you want to see that sh_t.
the only i can think of is sentence with comatas. In german you can have as many „hauptsätze“ in one sentence as long they are separated by a comma. for example what thomas berndhard does is crazy. its one sentence per page. i think in german you can be more precise in one sentence. but that will be a hell of a sentence.

> everyone I knew either donated theirs and/or moved CRTs into smaller rooms when they replaced a working one.

But you can’t do that with a 400lbs behemoth of a TV, it would fill the entire room.

This beast is highly impractical and still only 480p.

Even those smaller CRTs got disposed of quickly as soon as the 2nd generation of flat screens arrived as they already took up way too much space.
I don't think this gives an accurate picture. Even a 5% party can have an outsized influence on the politics. And it's not clear what the next election will bring.

> Anti-capitalism is found in right-wing parties, too. Like the German AFD.
Well, many/most of their proponents now seem to be fans of an older party which had national socialism in the name, so no surprise.

In reality, the market rules and social net in most of Europe and US are not /that/ different. Both allow private ownership of production, both have market economy.

Yes, the US says it's a free market, but it isn't. It's maybe free-er. Germany has a "social market economy", which mostly means that some (insurance) costs are lifted from the incur-er and distributed socially. Both have a social security equivalent, with Germany better coverage for unemployment, and US better retirement, AFAICT.
We could also encourage more healthier ecosystems with larger bird and fish populations. I've often noticed that areas with huge amounts of mosquitos have very few fish and few birds. Fish predate on the larvae and birds predate on the adults.

I think climate change plays a role in my area as well by increasing the length of the breeding season.
I'm not confusing anything. It's relatively common to call the use of dynamically typed languages without static type hints "untyped". I'm pretty sure you knew what I meant and are just trying the classic "you used this word in a way I don't agree with therefore you're wrong".
I heard about this. The famous celebrity chef, someone everyone here has heard of, traveled all the way to Sardinia to learn the intricate technique known by only three women, who presumably have spent a lifetime learning this technique. After a full two hours, the chef declared it impossible.

Mind bending.
Well i feel the abstraction itself doesn’t really hinder… what hinders an i realized costs me lots of time is laying out a good looking machine-layout… the auto-layout for machine introspection still is terrible and currently can’t be used with the layouts in the editors. Also I often end up to having copy the machine json back and forth and this usually requires tweeting as Machine inputs still can’t be mapped using strings and I often end up missing some and then wonder why stuff isn’t working as now errors are automatically caught in the machine. What I really like is that I can visualize my programs and clearly communicate a system using the graphs and delegate the parts that have to filled in. I think it’s also great for documentation and making sure a program is built in a nicely testable way and state is only updated at the appropriate times and places (you need to use an assign action). Model-based testing is also a nice feature… as are the ability to restore machine states at later times using saved state or replaying events. Although I never have done it I enjoy the thought of just taking my machine and put it into another web-fronted and only rebuild the UI by binding the view to state/context and interactions to basic dom events. All in all I think it can have big benefits of having a UML like visualization of your program that can be introspected live at run-time and isn’t immediately outdated because nobody bothers to keep it up to date after a code update (because it is the code). But it surly is a bit of a learning curve… but I encourage you to just try it out beginning with very small machines and build from there. Many of my problems come from just trying to build a giant machine system with many communicating actors from the start. Which totally isn’t needed to assess its features/drawbacks
I am pretty sure the example 2 doesn't work because of the move and should be fixed in the next release when async closure are stabilized (I am soooo looking forward to that one).

Chief Science Officer of Humanigen Charged With Insider Trading Using 10b5-1
Ben your such a rockstar. definitely following.
I do try to read 25 pages a day, and I consider 100 pages an almost unreasonable goal. The main key to success is that you focus on the process, rather than the result. This means you should build the habit to read (or whatever you goal is) rather than reaching some specific goal. (you also need to waste less time on the internet and social media).

I would suggest that you keep a list of the books you read over the long term. Inspired by a friend, I started this in 2011 and and almost immediately wished I had begin this practice as a teenager. The list just contains the title, author, and the date I finished the book.

The statistics have been surprising and the trend has been gratifying. In the fist four years I read just over 35 books per year, and in the past eight this has increased in an average over over 60 per year. I don't feel I read excessively, it's mostly in the evenings, on vacations, and while traveling.
Your supposition about Rust is correct.

I’ll add that—having paid that upfront cost—I am happily reaping the rewards even when I write code in other languages. It turns out the way that Rust “wants” to be written is overall a pretty good way for you to organize the relationships between parts of a program. And even though the borrow checker isn’t there looking out for you in other languages, you can code as if it is!
> Socialism is about putting people first and making sure no one is left behind by society, which is the opposite of communism (and capitalism).

The problem with that sentence is that you can say the same sentence with socialism/communism/capitalism in any order and you would find people who would sign it. And to some degree, maybe all would be right.
I have a friend who still to the day doesn’t use syntax highlighting. People like living on hard mode lol
Laugh at me if you want, but for a 1-man team, about a year and half ago I started using post-its on my window. First I did it as a semi-joke. But about a month later I just loved it, and I'm still using it when I'm on my own. Left window is todo and in-progress, right window is "done". Not only code related tasks, but everything work related non-trivial task. I clear the right window about once a week.

The left window shows a good estimation of my current workload and progress, and the right one shows my velocity (beside other things).

My only problem is that it doesn't really scale for bigger teams:(

If this applies at the individual level, I would love to read even an attempt at a proof.

One interesting aspect of science is that so much of what's true within it requires no proof, like religion. A lot of people try to get around this by saying that people aren't a part of science, but then they always seem to lose track of the thread when asked how science accomplishes anything without having either people involved, or the supernatural (which "doesn't exist" dontcha know).
At a loss seems a bit overly dramatic. I'd guess Nvidia sells SKUs for three times their marginal cost. Intel is probably operating at cost without any hopes of recouping R&D with the current SKUs, but that's reasonable for an aspiring competitor.
Twitter is precisely the reason we need these decentralized, niche platforms. It's a return to the norm prior to social media centralizing everything.

They won't avoid the same fate, because decay and entropy are inevitable. But they will last longer simply because fewer people know about them and use them.

Cool tool. From my experience the PDF was easy to traverse.

The hardest part for me was understanding that treatment options could differ (i.e. between the _top_ hospitals treating the cancer). And there were a few critical options to consider. NCCN paths were traditional, but there is in between decisions to make or alternative paths. ChatGPT was really helpful in that period. "2nd" opinions are important... but again you ask the top 2 hospitals and they differ in opinion, any other hospital is typically in one of those camps.

Engineers achieve quantum teleportation over active internet cables
At least based on the comments on lobste.rs [0] and /r/rust, these seem to be actively worked on and/or will be solved Soon (TM):

1. Checking does not take match and return into account: I think this should be addressed by Polonius? https://rust.godbolt.org/z/8axYEov6E

2. Being async is suffering: I think this is addressed by async closures, due to be stabilized in Rust 2024/Rust 1.85: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/9MWr6Y1Kz

3. FnMut does not allow reborrowing of captures: I think this is also addressed by async closures: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/351Kv3hWM

4. Send checker is not control flow aware: There seems to be (somewhat) active work to address this? No idea if there are major roadblocks, though. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128846

In Vim, the "stupid" auto complete will get 80% of the way there and works without setting up a language server and it works for any language.

By default it will give all the identifiers in all open files. Having a few of the relevant files open in the editor will get you pretty far.

I do use LSP in other environments where it is available but I still do a lot of my work with just plain vim because I jump between code bases a lot and setting up LSP for C/C++ needs some extra steps to work.
Space Station keeps dodging debris from China's 2007 satellite weapon test
> "Realistically though, the congress is a worldwide phenomenon"

Actually it is an open meeting of the German members of the CCC. What you see online is an important part of the congress, but it is only a part of the whole thing. Much more it is a gathering of activists. Thus its from the CCC for CCC. Guests are welcome. Since the talks maybe interesting to a larger audience they are streamed and translated in real-time.

Visit the congress in Hamburg and you are beamed to an alternate reality for four days and nights, meeting all kinds of interesting people in person. That experience is a bit more mind-blowing than seeing translated talks online. ;-) People from outside Germany are visiting the congress.
Religions are hypocritical because they eat animals? That's certainly a take.

My testing has been w/ a Lunar Lake Core 258V chip (Xe2 - Arc 140V) on Arch Linux. It sounds like you've tried a lot of things already, but case it helps, my notes for installing llama.cpp and PyTorch: https://llm-tracker.info/howto/Intel-GPUs

I have some benchmarks as well, and the IPEX-LLM backend performed a fair bit better than the SYCL llama.cpp backend for me (almost +50% pp512 and almost 2X tg128) so worth getting it working if you plan on using llama.cpp much on an Intel system. SYCL still performs significantly better than Vulkan and CPU backends, though.

As an end-user, I agree that it'd be way better if they could just contribute upstream somehow (whether to the SYCL backend, or if not possible, to a dependency-minized IPEX backend). the IPEX backend is one of the more maintained parts of IPEX-LLM, btw. I found a lot of stuff in that repo that depend on versions of oneKit that aren't even downloadable on Intel's site. I couldn't help but smirk when I heard someone say "Intel has their software nailed down."

I disagree. It’s a captivating title. The BBC article has more narrative and detail, but the Atlas Obscura article goes straight to the point. My first thoughts about the title’s subject were that it must be astronomy, needlework (lace), or computing. It was a pleasant surprise that none of my thoughts were accurate.

“Remote viewing” is a scam, debunked time and time again by psychic debunkers like James Randi and others.

There’s obviously a huge difference between a scam and a violent attack. The person being scammed doesn’t ever lose their agency and willingly participates. That’s very different from a knife attack, where the victim would leave at every moment if possible.

I did for a very long time. I only used vanilla vim, a terminal, a couple of core utils, and documentation.

You just learn to memorize a lot, organize and design your code. It feels very similar to learning to navigate a city without map. The map will be in your head. A very similar feeling I had with code bases. I navigated a map, sometimes I knew the route towards a piece of information, sometimes I knew exactly where it was. Sometimes you add a building or a new road, but you all keep it in your head.

Nowadays I use LSP, autocomplete LLM's and what not. Makes things easier and above all faster.

I still can do without, I am just a bit slower. For small changes and simple scripts I fallback to vim. For git I still use the terminal. And I still use a lot of commandline utilities, because each IDE has a zillion of commands that do the same anyway.

For your example, nowadays I would use grep or some modern equivalent to search for definitions. And to be honest, that isn't that much slower. I can have my editor open in tmux tab and in the other my editor. You don't have to jump through files then.
Well it mostly can be a static config - although some stuff like inputs can’t be passed in during initiation of the machine (which you can easily do yourself), but imho I also think should just work like with most other parts of the config (guards, actions etc.) One advantage of it being a json format is that you can validate/transform and pass it around with all tool available in this space and that it can easily be understood, written, extended and used everywhere (to a point) where you have a json parser. Also, i wanted to learn rust to write wasm stuff - and my idea fir learning project was a parser for Xstate to create a kind of abstract program … well didn’t get to it - but could see usefulness to having a easily portable standard to describe and mock a program between languages

Vim/Emacs (and variants) are like a tailored suit. VSC is like an off-the-rack suit. It's a silly analogy but it's probably the easiest way to explain it. For me personally it's productivity, and things like LSP quality in languages which don't have very good VSC plugins. The vim plugin for VSC is pretty bad.

That being said, use what works for you.
I believe that the fact that the female human butt is larger than the males is that it evolved to make the act of sitting down for long periods more comfortable. Effectively, they carry around a built-in cushion which makes squatting and sitting a markedly different experience for males.

Wow, it is really interesting the difference in comments between ALife and AI stories on HN.

For some of you out there, there's a great book that really hasn't gotten enough attention called "The Self-Assembling Brain"
[1] that explores intelligence (artificial or otherwise) from the perspectives of AI, ALife, robotics, genetics, and neuroscience.

I hadn't realized the divide was a sharp as it is until I saw the difference in comments. i.e. this one[2] about GPT-5 has over 1000 comments of emotional intensity while comments on OP story are significantly less "intense".

The thing is, if you compare the fields, you would quickly realize that which we call AI has very little in common which intelligence. It can't even habituate to stimuli. A little more cross disciplinary study would help is get better AI sooner.

Happy this story made it to the front page.

> Essentially, these differences just mean you should benchmark across all engines that you expect to run your code to ensure code that is fast in one isn’t slow in another.
